Palin shouldn't be (vice) president for this reason and this reason alone,
not because she thinks we should invade russia, not because she collected travel money to stay in her own house, not because she thinks the world is 6,000 years old, but because
she is a walking jerry springer show and is not capable of being civil in a child custody dispute, so how can she be capable of running a country.

Bluie is having a case of bovine-fecal-reflux.
Coughing up what he accuses people who do not think just like him of doing, i.e. the "lefties" whining when things supposedly don't go their way.

Got to huck-out the proverbial "don't try to stifle first amendment rights" quip for effect and good measure as well.

What a f*#king joke.

she is a walking jerry springer show

There's quite a bit more about her style of government, including the book-banning attempt (yes, it happened) in a well-researched NYT piece today. One small sample:

So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.

Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.

You might wait on the Trooper Gate issue until it's resolved. Now, I know that's difficult for you, but it's smart. If you need to, you'll find the term "smart" in your dictionary, assuming you have one.

This may have an unexpected ending for the Dems by puting them in the position of defending a rouge cop and child abbuser.

From IBD 9-3
"So here are some key facts to keep on file (for a full report on Wooten, see adn.com/front/story/476430.html). You may not be seeing much of them from here on:

• Mike Wooten, 35, has been a trooper since 2001. He has been married and divorced four times. One of his marriages was to Palin's sister, Molly McCann, with whom he had two children. That marriage ended in 2006. His behavior leading up to the divorce led Palin's and McCann's father, Chuck Heath, to file a formal complaint about him to the state police.

• Heath and Sarah Palin, who was not yet governor, said that Wooten had threatened to kill Heath — telling McCann that Heath "would eat a f***ing lead bullet" if he hired a lawyer for her. They also charged that he had used a Taser on his own 11-year-old stepson, had drunk beer in his patrol car and had shot a cow moose without a license (the latter a crime in Alaska, where such licenses are not easy to come by).

The state police investigated these charges and substantiated all of them. Col. Julia Grimes, then head of the Alaska State Troopers, suspended Wooten for 10 days and wrote, "The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession." She warned him he would be fired if he didn't shape up. The troopers' union got the suspension cut to five days.

Now ask yourself this: If you were Sarah Palin and had such a revealing look at Mike Wooten, would you have wanted him on the force? Palin was acting as any concerned citizen should after a close encounter with an unfit cop. If there's abuse of power in this story, it lies on the side of bureaucrats and unions protecting officers whose behavior makes them a danger to the public

"Nothing shows left wing bigotry and their total hatred for a large segment of America like the words you all use on a daily basis. So as a Republican I say thank-you.

You all obviously hate woman, hate middle America, hate Republicans, hate religion, hate those not as fortunate as you, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. "



Skip, you've lost it buddy.
